Anyway if I won a bean on that National Poll Tax Draw I'd seek serious medical help, because I don't pay it.

Do you know that this is not a new idea though?
I'm sure there was a scheme like this in the Dingle a few years ago and it came on top because the DHSS classified the skill and labour exchange as quid pro quo employment and those who were unemployed were de facto working.True, but that is not skills exchange, that is a barter market. By skills exchange, I mean the exchange of skills through teaching.
I can remember hearing a fella on the radio who was unemployed saying that he'd done some work on a neighbours house in exchange for something and a spokesperson for the SS explaining how that contravened the rules or that he should have been actively seeking employment instead. Micro-regeneration - illegal. Typical.
Quote by KitKat
Strangely, this is one of those things that I think long and seriously about.
I wouldn't give any money to charity. With that much money, I would want to have control over how it was spent, and set up my own charity.
The purpose of the charity would be to create a skills exchange for those on low income or unemployed. The theory behind it being: it is easier to live cheaper than to earn more.
Not for the big things, for the little things, healthy eating, minor repairs or improvements to house, garden, car, hairdressing, holidays, even information.
Not trying to give people additional skills or income - just how to make the best use of what you have got.
